Muppets obviously want to get eaten. They keep walking right into the monsters :(
Would be nice if they didn't just rapidly change directions when I set them on the path to freedom.
As it is - it's kinda frustrating but the idea is fun and has potential :) Just give the muppets a fighting chance to escape maybe :)
Thanks for the feedback!
I wanted to make their movement a bit less dumb without having it just be them running in the opposite direction of the monsters, but didn't come up with any great ideas that I could implement in the 3 hours.
In hindsight, one thing I could have done is have them switch direction less often and more consistently. Would have been an easy change and more easy to handle them as a player.
I think random motions should just be active when there is nothing else going on. Maybe something like this:
1. if Exit is in Range - > Run towards exit
2. else if Monster is in Range -> Run away from closest monster
3. else if - has been dragged recently -> Keep running in the set direction for a while
4. else - stick together( with maybe some occasional random movement to keep them from just sitting in place)
That would make them kind of predictable but it would mean escape plans have a decent chance of working out :)
